“40 Under 40” Recognition

 

ROSELAND, N.J., August 17, 2009 --- Recognition by peers and community activity are but two elements from a list of criteria that were used by the New Jersey Law Journal to consider Connell Foley LLP Partner W. Nevins McCann a viable candidate - and, ultimately a chosen recipient, of the publication's 2009 40 Under 40 recognition.

Lawyers named to The New Jersey Law Journal list are also evaluated on the basis of achievement in their careers, from recognition by professional organizations, individual membership and leadership roles in the bar, and work in charitable and volunteer activities. Honorees are top leaders in the state's legal community.

- Execution of numerous merger and acquisitions deals of all sizes, extending
